Also, we will take into account the employers’ recruitment, retaining, and development programs managed for organisations these days, drawing on academic literature. Findings of this study have been presented by the young generation’s graduates' expectations and suggests that this generation is completely aware of what they want from employers. The career development programmes are a very important factor for them and for employers as well. Finally, there are practical implications - employers of graduates need to evaluate the effectiveness of their programme.
